  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Demo Reels

Jeremy,

I actually looked at your video a few days ago. I even sent Rob an email telling him I thought the new video looked good.

It's nice work, I especially like what you did with the camera movement. Was that a crane? cable? It looked good whatever it was.

When I worked with BikeSkills, it was tough because I always felt like there wasn't enough budget to go as far as I wanted to.

It looks like they may have stepped up the budget, though, considering the quality of your work.

Keep me posted your projects. I always love to see good work, especially in mountain biking.

Thanks for the comments.

It's been good working with Rob. Unlike a lot of companies in the bike industry he is beginning to see what things are worth - as far as film/video - and the value that brings to the viewer.

I was excited to see that you were also getting a RED. Do you have any projects planned out? If you ever need a hand, or an extra Red, just let me know.

Hardest thing about only being part of the principle photography is getting access to the footage once complete. It often takes a good long time to be completed, and even then it's not easy. The newest thing on my reel is almost a year old at this point.

Very good work Afton
Are you very busy in October?
Cheers

Jeremy,

I have big plans for my Red.

I'm planning to shoot a werewolf movie in the Spring, and remake Desert of Eden in the Summer. So, if everything goes according to plan, I'll be doing two features next year.

As far as action sports go, I plan to stick with cars mostly. It's a good industry and there's a lot of potential.

From the looks of some of these demo reels, I may be hiring from the forum, and I will definately keep you in mind.

People have some really cool stuff here. I'll have something I'm actually proud of showing by the end of this week or the start of next week, depending on what it takes to work with my editor and get it done.
 
Keep in mind most of my work isn't mountain bike related.

Jeremy

You should post some links to your other work. I'd love to see it.

-Thor
 
It's mostly commercial work, and quite a lot of "outdoor adventure" type companies. There is one video on the youtube channel of a zipline company I did up in Whistler a couple years ago. Recently I've done a bit of camera work for a dogsledding company up there as well. That was quite fun.

I'll try to gather some of the more exciting work I've done and put it in a link on my website when I get the time. I just got back into Aptos after being in Whistler for a few months, so I'm a little busy at the moment.

I'll make sure to keep you posted when I get some material to put up.

Nice steadicam work indeed, Afton. I'm sure it gets rather frustrating knowing you got an awesome shot and not being able to put it your reel, let alone see it for a long while.

Have you got something? Call anytime, my friend.

It used to. I'm satisfied with my reel as it is for the moment. Prior to it getting to its current stage, and especially before I had any reel at all was when it was the most frustrating. I was scraping at anything and everything I could to hopefully assemble 3 minutes of footage. That was tough and I shudder to go back and view some of my first generation reels, even in private. I'm sure someday I'll feel the same about my current one, but I guess that'll only mean I've moved up a few notches.
 
Gobsmacked, great work all around, much respect.


Cheers guys.. There's 2 of us here so not all me :) Can't wait to work with some Red footage :)

Some great work posted here guys..!

Guess I should say MINI DV, DVCAM, and some super 16 converted to DVCAM Pals and then Converted to NTSC.

I can not wait to do the same type of stuff with a camera like RED

Thanks for the feed back. I am self taught and have much to learn.

Greg

Well done, Greg! Can't wait to see what you do with a Red!

-Thor
 
Yeah count me in, that footage shot with the RED is going to be some tight stuff. My friend Erik does nature photography as a semi-professional, he's a hobbyist but he's been doing it seriously for many years and has paid for professional training going on trips to Yosemite park and things like that to enhance his skills, so he's just getting into some paid work. It's really amazing the kind of stuff you can get in nature.
